　参考答案及解析：

1.The correct answer is B

Explanation

Choice (B) is correct. If the play is an “ungainly,” or clumsy, mixture of different elements, an honest critic would justifiably describe it as a “hodgepodge,” or a disorganized jumble.

2.The correct answer is C

Explanation

The sentence contrasts the “eager” nature of Miller’s response to new productions with that of “more mean-spirited critics.” Since Miller tends to “praise a new production,” it makes sense to say that he “recognizes,” or acknowledges, achievement, while “mean-spirited critics” are more likely to “deride,” or ridicule, it.

3.The correct answer is A

Explanation

To be “cognizant of” something is to be informed about or aware of it. The sentence indicates that the reporter’s interview techniques were allegedly unethical — that is, the reporter was accused of using techniques that do not conform to approved standards. If the editor was unaware of the reporter’s journalistic practices, he could plausibly deny any knowledge of — and responsibility for — her techniques, whether ethical or unethical. Therefore, it makes sense to suggest that the editor would claim that he was cognizant of only the reporter’s finished work and not her journalistic practices.

4.The correct answer is C

Explanation

Only “lightness” fits the logic of the sentence as being contrary to the “gravity” of the topic. Listening to others discuss a grave (or serious) topic in a light-hearted tone would be unsettling and confusing.
